Do you want change? Radical change? So did Peter Maurin! Founder of the Catholic Worker, the radical — from the Latin word radix meaning root — is someone who doesn’t settle for surface-level solutions but goes to the root of personal and social problems. Maurin wrote simple to understand and provocative essays to go to the root of the personal and social problems, showing how the world of individualism, consumerism and capitalism are actively working against human flourishing.
